"Acquaintances?"

Gao Li really didn't expect it.

"Well, acquaintance. Originally, I didn't notice him, but I have been recalling the events after entering the heavenly and human realms for the past few days, and I suddenly remembered him. Ling Long said.

"Who?" asked Gao Li.

"Stone Immortals. Ling Long said.

"Shi Zhongxian, is it Shi Zhongxian who is listed as one of the five top powerhouses in the rivers and lakes along with Senior Yun?" Gao Li said in surprise.

"Yes, the white jade-like skin of the stone fairy is very distinctive. I didn't notice him at first, but later I remembered that he was standing in the middle of the crowd, his skin covered in the lines of rocks. I suddenly realized that it was the Immortal in the Stone. Ling Long said.

"Friends?" said Gao Li.

"No, it's just once. Ling Long said.

Oh, that's what you define as an acquaintance.

Ling Long continued: "The last time I heard about Shi Zhongxian was before we came to Yannan, I heard that he had a big battle with the Red Flame Demon, and was seriously injured by the Red Flame Demon, and had to seek out Yi Yiyi to help him heal his injuries. I don't know what the result was, but I met him in the heavenly and human realms. I guess it should have been a breakthrough in a big war, and then I was summoned to the heavenly and human realms. ”

"He must have been surprised to see you, right?" said Gao Li with a smile.

"Of course I'm surprised, when the two of us met that time, I was just an ordinary master, but now my cultivation is no longer under him. The most interesting thing is that he can only squat in that heavenly and human realm, and I was brought back by my father-in-law. Ling Long said with a smile.

"Hmph, such a beautiful daughter-in-law, I can't just let you go. Gao Li said with a smile, "But is it a harvest to meet the Immortal in the Stone?"

"Sort of. Ling Long said, "He secretly made some gestures to me. However, at that time, I had just arrived in the heavenly realm, and I was still a little flustered, and I didn't know what those actions meant. ”

"Help, can't you?" Gao Li turned around, hugged Ling Long, and continued, "You just arrived at that place, he can't ask you for help." ”

Ling Long shook his head and said, "Not when I first arrived at that place, but when I grabbed your finger and smashed those machines to escape, I saw the longing in his eyes. The so-called Heavenly and Human Realm is definitely not a good place. ”

Gao Li understood: "It means that in fact, the people who were summoned to the Heavenly and Human Realm were not voluntary. ”

Ling Long nodded and said, "Approximately." ”

The two stopped talking, just snuggled together, enjoying a moment of silence. The lunch break is not long, take a nap, and continue to participate in the boring spraying meeting in the afternoon. The emperor may not have to attend this kind of meeting, but Gao Li, as the host, is absolutely indispensable.

After a while, Gao Li suddenly spoke: "Actually, you shouldn't have just remembered this matter, but you have always known about it." ”

Ling Long closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a beautiful arc, and said, "You guessed it." ”

Gao Li said: "Because this kind of thing doesn't make sense, I still know your ability, how can I confirm things through memories, and I can even count the number of eyelashes on my eyelids with a glance of your ability." ”

Ling Long said: "How can it be so powerful!"

Gao Li said: "Use exaggerated rhetorical devices to explain how great you are." ”

Ling Long said: "Actually, I didn't plan to tell you at first, I didn't want to hide it from you on purpose, but ......"

"But I don't want to sink too deep into the matter of the celestial and human realms, yes. Gao Li hurriedly said.

"Yes. Ling Long still closed his eyes, squeezed into Gao Li's arms, and said, "I was summoned to the Heaven and Man Realm, and I was very scared in my heart. If so many opponents who have surpassed the martial arts cultivation rush to this side, I may be able to deal with one, two, ten or eight, but there is no way to deal with all of them. You're a very confident person, and you're not afraid of anything. What if they have a means that you never thought of? What if you die? I will avenge you, I will kill everyone to avenge you, but all of their lives together will not be able to get back your life. So, I want to simply tell you that there's nothing over there, nothing particularly noteworthy, so that you don't have to think about it all the time. ”

"Unfortunately, I'm already in the middle of it. "Gao Li Dao.

"Well, I guess I'm still too stupid to just want to do something like that. Ling Long said.

"No, it's not that you're stupid. But now that things have developed to this point, even if I want to leave, it is already an extravagant hope. In this case, it is better to face it calmly. "Gao Li Dao.

Ling Long put his forehead on Gao Li's chest and said softly: "In the future, if you encounter this kind of thing again, I will honestly tell you everything." A fool like me shouldn't waste time thinking about it that much. ”

"Don't worry, just leave it all to me. "Gao Li Dao.

In the afternoon meeting, everyone calmed down a lot. The two sides were less accusatory and began to talk about the facts. Once it comes to the pragmatic aspect, Gao Li has a lot more say, after all, Yanan and Yannan City have close exchanges, and Gao Li's opinion is indispensable for everything. Especially in economic exchanges, when he heard that Gao Li had signed an exclusive monopoly contract with Yanan, the emperor's face turned red and white, where did he think that Gao Li would be so ruthless!

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed Gao Li's style of acting: you must maximize the interests of everything.

In the evening, the feast was held again. Only this time there was no chocolate, and the soda was replaced by soda and liquor.

The sweetness masks the pungency of the liquor, and the sugar enters with the liquor, speeding up the absorption of the alcohol. This night, both sides drank too much. Especially the emperor, Ning tincture was drunk. Although he is the emperor, he will not make a fool of himself, but since the emperor has drunk too much, the banquet will be dispersed.

Gao Li sent the emperor back, placed him in the house, and before leaving, the eighth prince kept Gao Li and told Li Tiequan to go outside and watch. Then, the emperor, who was already drunk, got up from the bed again and said, "Stinky boy, are you waiting to see me ugly?"

Gao Li said: "How can I be, I'm not waiting for Your Majesty's teachings." ”

Gao Li brought the emperor a glass of water, and the emperor took it and drank it, and then he spoke, "Do you know why I had to ask you which side you are on before?"

Gao Li said: "I don't know. ”

The emperor said: "Because no matter whether it is heaven or man, or evil, they are not worthy to live in this world." Back then, my ancestors launched annihilation with the lives of countless people, thinking that they would be able to wipe out the heavens and the evil in one fell swoop. But I didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net. For 200 years, successive emperors have done their best to erase the influence of heaven and man and evil from this world. But he didn't want to, but the evil returned to this world again and again. And now, the scars of heaven have opened, and the heavens and men have appeared. If left unchecked, they will inevitably come again. You have also seen how powerful the celestial beings and the evil are these days. If we let them return to the world, you and I will never have peace!"

Gao Li said: "What does Your Majesty want me to do?"

The Emperor said, "To deal with the Celestials, there is me, and I need you to monitor every move of the evil here. ”

As he spoke, the emperor took out a palm-sized golden object from his arms and said, "This talisman has my seal on it. With this talisman, you don't have to decide whether to go to war or not. If you really find that there is a huge threat, I will allow you to prepare for battle at any time, and whatever stronger weapons you can create, you don't have to worry about my face!"

Gao Li took the talisman and looked down, there were dense small characters written on it, which should have been handwritten by the emperor and then ordered someone to engrave it.

"Actually......" Gao Li looked at the talisman and stopped talking.

"Actually?" the emperor stared at Gao Li.

"In fact, the words that Your Majesty said before have given the ministers enough trust, this talisman is so precious, and I have great power, I don't know the bottom in my heart. "Gao Li Dao.

"If you want to take it, you will take it!, what are you afraid of!" the Emperor laughed.

Gao Li looked at the talisman, and then looked at the emperor's smile, he could only put it away, and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, and the minister will live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

"Okay!

Gao Li retreated, carrying a heavy talisman in his arms, but he couldn't be happy in his heart.

In fact......

The upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.

In that year, during the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to annex a small country, the State of Qi adopted the method of trade war. First, he purchased the famous iron tools of that small country on a large scale, and then everyone in that small country began to make iron at home without production, in exchange for silver money to buy food from Qi country, and everyone lived a prosperous life. A few years later, the state of Qi suddenly stopped buying iron tools, and as a result, the small countries had no food at home, and the surrounding countries immediately took the opportunity to raise the price of grain. Soon, the lord of the small country also knew that this was a strategy used by the Qi country, and there was no way, so he could only submit to it.

This story, if placed in Gao Li's previous life, is called the great division of labor in socialization. And now, it is what Gao Li did to Yanan.

Yanan is an agricultural country, and Gaoli's refusal to buy Yanan will inevitably lead to Yanan people changing the planting structure according to Gaoli's preferences. With the huge population advantage of the Central Plains, Yanan can be digested no matter how much output there is. In this way, through the control of Yanan's commodities, Yanan's economy can be controlled to a certain extent, and finally reach the point of influencing Yanan's national policy. It's not that Gao Li has to control other people's countries, but at least there is a bit of entanglement of interests, which can also make this friendship a little more stable.

And now, it seems, everything is going to go in the direction of war?

Although it is said, as soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. But if the battlefield is at one's own doorstep, then there must be only losses.

Gao Li thinks that he needs to have a deep and frank communication with the evil side.

In the next few days, no one mentioned this matter again, and Gao Li guessed that the emperor and Yanan should still have reached some consensus, but Gao Li didn't know.

On the day the emperor left, under the watchful eyes of the ministers, Gao Li handed the emperor a box of chocolates, but the emperor wanted more.

"Gao Li, that soda ...... yours"

"Your Majesty!" Gao Li arched his hand and said, "Chen's soda is about to be sold in major flagship stores, I will let them send them to the palace in the future, please rest assured!"

"Hahaha! Then I'm relieved!"
